Pegoretti Found!

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Hi MICHAELM-

Please post the picture of the Waterford frame you're describing. You can always delete it from the thread after folks see it and have time to provide commentary.

OK, I have found an exact picture of the red and blue Waterford I had as I purchased from a team member. I loved the colors; but, only because it resembled the old Pegoretti.

Figured a way to post, now I need a few more opinions.

Hi MICHAELM-

Excellent. If I was to go with that "configuration" of the way the color transitions, I would opt for the fork to be red as well.

Either the fade in the Waterford or the Pegoretti which I truly like would have the red fork. My current Landshark has the Ouzo painted to match the frame, so I "assume" that it can be done. I still wonder if taking the Pegoretti scheme is "stealing" since it would have Landshark decals? I don't want to be labeled a thief.

Hi MICHAELM-

There are only *so* many ways that a bicycle frame can be painted. You're getting influence from the Pegoretti and that's it. I certainly wouldn't go so far as to call it theft. Send it to John Slawta and enjoy it afterwards.
